SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The despat c h es f rom Sir J. Colborne, published in the Time: of yesterday, were satisfactory on more grounds than one. They not merely recorded the defeat and dispersion of the French rebels wherever they had attacked the loyal subjects of her Majesty, but ascertained the willingness and ability of the latter to maintain the dominion of the laws and of publi c or d er by th e i r own unaided exertions, without the active interposition of a single regiment of the Royal troops. It had been sedulously insisted on that the proceedings in Parliament (and from invidious motives the House of Lords was generally put forward as chief culprit on the occasion) were such as to offend the whole body of British-born colonists, to inspire them with hostility to the sway of the mother country, and to render them less worthy of reliance for opposition to a pirate invasion from the United States. The conduct of this brave portion of our countrymen gave the lie at once to the libel circulated against themselves, and to that of which the Imperial Parliament bad been the subject. Sir J. Colborne, in his report to GGovernment, does ample justice to their resolute and pa triotic devotion. But it had, by a curious spirit of enter prise in the vocation of party slander, been also alleged by the Ministerial prints that the House of Lords and the Tories, by their bill of indemnity, conveying cen sure upon Lord Durham, actually produced this second insurrection of the French Canadians. We/ had already in repeated articles exposed the impudent inconsistency of snch a charge, as if, when the whole question was one be tween the principles contended for by the British colo nists on one side, and the French separatists on the other, the same measures could, for the same rea sons, have created resentment in both. But there were were other and more specific grounds on which we maintained the absurd and malignant false hood of such an accusation. We remarked that the rebel lion recently broken out had not been the work of an hour, or resulted from any sudden impulse of popular excitement, for that all the accounts received from North America dur. ing thelast four months, had borne witness to the activeand incessant preparatives for another insurrection, the French Canadians not having been so signally defeated, or so se verely punished for the former one, as to deter them from repeating the experiment. The despatches of Sir John Colborne have set this question happily at rest. The gallant Captain-General of the Canadas tells her Majesty's Minis ters, in totidemverbis, that the leaders of the revolt had been actively employed in organizing this second attempt to esta blish a republic in Canada since June! and that a secret oath, which has been so extensively administered to the habi fans was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and August." Well, then, how stand' the facts, and how the argument upon them! The Bill of Indemnity, say the Downing-street Journals, declaring the illegality of Lord Durham's ordinance, has been the cause of this rebellion, which rebellion, we are assured on the unquestionable au thority of Sir John Colborne, was in active preparation during the month of June. But it so happens that the very first mention made in Parliament of the illegal ordinance of Lord Durham was by Lord Brougham in the House of Lords on Monday, the 30th of .July, when he gave notice of a motion on the subject. The Bill was introduced to the House of Commons, and read a first and second time on Monday, the 13th of August. And by whom intro duced ?—why, by that rancorous and revengeful Tory, Lord John Pussell ! And on whose motion read a first time and a second ?--Ort that ofLordJohn Russell. And on whose motion committed the very day after ?—on that of Lord John Russell. And on whose motion, ay, and at whose earnest remonstrance, against all opposition from his friends, read a third time and passed ?—why, on that of Lord John Russell! Such was the Bill which has been made a stand ing topic of virulence and scurrility against the Conserva tives of both Houses, in one of which Houses the Minis ters had a sure majority whenever they chose to call fur it ; —a bill not passed by the Crown until the 16th of August, yet charged against those who voted for it, amongst whom were the Queen's Ministers themselves, as the cause of a rebellion whieh was prepared in the month of June preceding, and cemented by oaths administered to the Canadians during the months of July and August ! while the Act of Parliament, alleged as the originating cause of these June, July, and August rebellious machina tions, could not by possibility have been known in North America much before the end of September ! Are we not, then, justified in considering this fresh specimen of mean ness in the Queen's Ministers and their creatures as pretty fairly disposed of ? There is one other question to be settled, and for our parts we shall look 'on with more curiosity than anxiety to see how Lords Melbourne, Glenelg, &c., work out their own deliverance from it— namely, that suggested by Lord Durham's Devonport announcement, that he will make disclosures of some astounding import to Parliament and to the people of England in justification of his own measures towards the Canadians. We say that it is a matter calculated to move curiosity rather than more serious feelings ; because, if there be connexion or conclusiveness in Lord Durham's lan guage, these questions " relate to himself," and concern merely the Noble Lord's own proper exculpation. That they may contain proofs of Ministerial meanness towards an ab'sent officer of the Crown would once perhaps have stirred the higher emotions of Englishmen, as affecting in no small degree the honour of the country, and the fame of public functionaries. But, alas! the Ministers, and the nation too, have grown callous to all such exposures.— Times. The New York Courier and Inquirer of November 14, I contains the following paragraph : ~ We understand that the individuals transported from Canada to Bermuda, by order of Lord Durham, and recently . liberated in pursuance of the decision of the British Parlia ment, have arrived in this city, and that their very first step has been to announce to a meeting of sympathisers held last evening at the Richmond-bill House their intention to join the predatory hordes now disturbing the peace of our frontier. Verily 1 the British Government will complain with a bad grace of the infatuation which leads American citizens to take part with the disorganisers, while their own conduct presents such an instance of fatuity as it does in regard to the men in question." The turn which events had,taken before the day of this meeting will probably damp the ardour of the sympathisers. Had the rebels, however, been successful in their first at tempts, so as to encourage the disaffected to rise in places remote from the theatre to which the insurrection has been confined, the return of the individuals from Bermuda at this time might have added greatly to the mischief. We presume that they comprise the great body of the men who would have the confidence of the rebels as leaders. An attempt has been made to justify the proceedings of the House of Lords, on the ground that Sir John Colborne having declared the leaders of the revolt to have been actively employed in or ganizing the second attempt to establish a republic in Canada since June, and that a secret oath was taken by a very large portion of the disaffected in July and August, the proceedings of the House of Lords could not possibly have caused the insurrection. We have ourselves, on the faith of correspondents on whom we know we could rely, stated weeks ago the existence of combinations for pur poses of insurrection, and corresponding organizations, in the United States. But a hundred circumstances may prevent those who form these plans from attempt ing to carry them into execution. Who does not per ceive that the agitated state of Canada consequent on the receipt of the intelligence of the proceed ings in Parliament was calculated to act on both th races ? The British, who had looked forward with confidence to such an improvement in the laws and institutions of the colony, as would gradually make it a fit residence for Britons, began to indulge in the most gloomy anticipations, while the French Canadians deemed the mo ment favourabl e f or th e rea li za ti on of th e i r sc hem es . Th e British were divided between their hatred to the French Canadians and their contempt for the House of Lords, and this cont emp t h a d i n a s h ort t i me d one muc h to de stroy in the British Canadians the wish to preserve the connection with this country. It was impossible that all this should not aff or d encouragement to t h e l ea d ers of he French Canadians. W e d o no t say pos i t i ve l y that anyam mea sures which could h ave b een a d opte d b y L or d Durham would have had the effect of preventing anoth er trial of strength between the parties ; but while this is a matter involved in doubt, there can be no doubt that the proceed ings of the House of Lords had a tendency to encourage the French to attem p t an o ther insurre ction.--. 4. if • ortune Chronicle. The Ministerial Journals are sadly perplexed by the the contents of Sir John Colborne's despatch. And who can wonder at this ? Sir John demolishes at a single blow as effectually even as the most loyal of her Majesty's sub jects could wish him to demolish the rebel faction in Ca nada, the single topic of accusation which the abettors of that faction in great Britain have had to produce, in re ference to Canada, against the most loyal of her Majesty' s s H abjects, the Conservativ e ma j ority of .the House o f Lords. The charge against the Conservative Peers, upon which all the organs of t he Ministerial faction have been d harping since August la st, is, that they defeated Lord Durluzm's policy in Canada, which but for them would have boon successful. Lord Durham even has been base and s'jlly enough, both in Canada and since his recent lan:ling in England to len d his sanction to this malignant And absurd drivelling. Whatever blame there was in what the Legislature did upon the occasion in question, is imputable to Ministers only, who ought to have known and stated the danger of the proposed step, instead of adopting it in the Lords, as they did, and carrying it through the Commons, in which assembly their majority, such As jt is , ' - • .•P4elip4siserve the gravest censure, cannot be denied, because '.l' • kt i Vg l i k e s x l ould not defend their Lord High Commissioner, ~,..,. , -.4 , --K \. • ! . - -‘,.. tly with their duty to the country, they ought ini- fr",-: .. ...,... 1 4:r:;•Ny to have recalled him ; and if they could not mot d t -4 4 a.: ,. ..q 7 ~,,. •:—. 0, -,it. e.-.. effectually protect him from the severe reprimand of the indemnity on account of their own weakness in Parliament 1 merely, they ought themselves immediately to have re signed. Sir John Colborne's despatch, however, is corn pletely decisive of every matter in dispute. It shows that the measure proposed and carried in the House of Lords could not have defeated Lord Durham's po licy in Canada, inasmuch as that policy was defeated and proved to be utterly worthless and abortive, within two months of his Lordship's arrival in the colony, and severe.? months before anything could have been known there of the Parliamentary mea sure. " But the fact," says the honest Globe, "on which the Post relies as conclusive in favour of the inno cence of its patrons in the Upper House of all blame in the matter, to us appears to warrant very different infe rences. So then ! the Lords were debating while rebellion was organising—the Lords were splitting hairs about the legality of bloodless precautions, while scenes were rehears ing, which, if encouraged to actual performance, would suspend all law in the province but the stern one of arms !" No ; honest Globe! The Lords were debating for the preservation of the principles of law, having evidence be fore them that the Alinisterial High Commissioner and Governor-General of Canada bad set the principles of law at defiance, arid, unacquainted with the fact which now first transpires in Great Britain, a fact which would have af forded, had it been known, a new justificatiou to their course, that the policy of the law-despising satrap of Downing.street bad already proved as deplorably unsuccessful as it was flagrantly illegal. "No doubt," we quote Sir John Colborne, " now exists that the leaders of this revolt have been actively employed in organising this second attempt to establish a republic in Canada since June, and that a secret oath, which has been extensively administered to the habitans, was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and and August." This is so overpowering that the Journals which generally support Ministers, but which have, never theless, that kind of inconvenient desire to maintain a repu tation for honesty and truth, that disqualifies them from the first place in Ministerial favour, do not attempt to re• sist its force. The Globe must sink with shame and con fusion, if the sense of shame be not entirely lost to it, under the severe rebuke unconsciously adminis tered to it by its less servile and more honourable and candid fellow-labourers of the Ministerial press. We find the following in the Courier of last night : " We have it upon the authority of Sir John Colborne, as a fact about which there is no doubt in his own mind, that the leaders of the new revolt have been actively employed in organizing this second attempt to establish a Republic in Canada since June, and that a secret oath, which has been so extensively administered to the habitans, was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and August. After this, it certainly requires no violent exertion of that rare faculty among party-men, candour, to admit that the Tory majority in the House of Lords, who adopted Lord Brougham's ma licious measure in the latter-mentioned month, are perfectly innocent of the charge of having provoked the revolutionists to a second revolt. The Tory Lords have been authors of sufficient evil 'in their day, without imparting to them ima ginary mischiefs. We shall not be suspected of any partiality for them or their proceedings when we rejoice to find them thus completely innocent of having instigated the Canadians to rebellion. Our gratification has other grounds. We are glad they are not implicated ; because, if they were, the Ministers who admitted the fatal necessity of the Bill, and the Liberal majority in the House of Commons who sanctioned that Ministerial resolution without even the show of a division, must be implicated too, and thus come in for a full share of reprobation and censure. We should have been sorry to find that the mistakes of our own party had been at tended with so weighty a calamity, by way of moral." And The Sun, also a Ministerial Paper, manifests at least an equal regard for integrity and truth, as the follow ing passages will show : " The simultaneous rising of ruch immense masses of the population, and the loss of ' several valuable officers and loyal subjects,' reported by the Lieutenant-General to have fallen' in establishing the supremacy of British authority, sufficiently show that the seeds of this rebellion were sown at a date anterior to the passing of the Durham Ordinances In demnity Act—notwithstanding the very grave and oft-repeated statements of two of our Ministerial Contemporaries to the contrary. The Indemnity Act as passed on the 17th of Au gust, consequently its purport could not be known to the disaffected in the Canadas before the middle of September at the very earliest. It will be remembered, too, that it passed both Houses in the course of a few sittings, with the express understanding on the part of several of its supporters and op. ponents that it was desirable that it should be either passed or rejected before the arrival in the Canadas of the debates upon it—in order to prevent anv agitation of the question in the provinces. Now, Sir 'John Col borne says in his official despatch, No doubt now exists that the leaders of this revolt have been actively employed in or ganising this second attempt to establish a Republic in Ca nada since June, and that the secret oath which has been so extensively administered to the habitans, was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and August.' Either this statement of Sir John Colborne is utterly groundless, or the Indemnity Act has contributed in so slight a degree to the prpsent outbreak, that only the tools of faction can persevere in fastening upon any section of the House of Lords the entire blame of the recurrence of such an enormity. * * • We are no admirers of the policy pursued by the House of Lords since the passing of the Reform Bill ; but we will not, on that account, lend ourselves to the dishonesty of making any section of that House responsible for the consequences of Acts now proved to be not less attributable to a series of blunders on the part of the Government than to the united opposition of the Ultras, Tory and Radical." This is certainly creditable, by comparison with the im pudent disregard to sense and truth manifested by the re gular Ministerial hack.—Morning Post. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1838. cecd to its destination without much molestation from robbers, banditti, &c. " The leader, we understand, is to be no less a personage than Major A. Legrand, of Texas, so favourably and exten sively known throughout the country to be traversed by the caravan. If we recollect aright, Major Legrand was the first man that led a company of traders from St. Louis to Santa Fe. It was in 1824, since which time he has made repeated trips on the same route, and also to California. He is a gen tleman of a shrewd and well informed mind, having been engaged for a considerable time in a lucrative practice as a lawyer, which he relinquishes for more active and daring pursuits. He has been concerned on behalf of the Texan Government, in negotiating treaties with some of the Indian tribes, and we believe was once sent to the city of Mexico as a Commissioner on some business for Texas during her colonial existence." CHRONICLE.—The exportation of the precious me• tals from the port of London for the week ending the Ist instant, Saturday last, consisted, according to the official re turns, of 6,800 ounces of coin, not distingnished, of which 5,000 ounces were sent to Sydney, and 1,800 to New York ; 3,265 ounces of gold coin shipped for Hamburg ; 882 ounces of gold bars for the same destination ; and 4,997 ounces of silver coin, which were forwarded to the West Indies. The state and prospects of the Corn Trade may be judged of with some degree of accuracy from the cir cumstance that a sale of 10,000 quarters of wheat from Odessa has been made at the enormous price of 81s., to be delivered upon the opening of the ports. This wheat is to be forwarded to Bristol and Gloucester, .and, being of a sound and superior quality, is probably intended for grinding with the Irish wheat, with which those two ports are usually so largely supplied, but which is this year so inferior in quality as to be scarcely in general fit for use. The sale of so large a quantity of Black Sea wheat at the price of 81s. is, however, an important circumstance at the present moment, for the principal part of the supplies which are expected on the next opening of the ports from that part of the world ; and there is not only no probability that the ave rages will be again lowered by the importation, but, on the contrary, there is no doubt the average will be even raised, and that the ports will continue open for many months to come. The entire deficiency of the whole crop of this country is now generally taken at twenty-five per cent., or about 4,000,000 quarters ; and estimating the quality at fifteen per cent. below that of the average of years, the real and entire deficiency may be taken at 7,000,000 quarters of wheat alone ; and as the other crops of oats and potatoes, including Ireland and Scotland, are now found to yield in a corresponding inferior degree, it may be doubted whether there is in the country much more thatt one-half of the food of all descriptions which is required for the ordinary consumption of a year. Upon this sup position it becomes clear that even if half a million of quarters of wheat should yet arrive from the Black Sea, still that this would make no impression whatever upon the pre sent high prices, and that so large is the'total deficiency that the prices must continue at a famine rate for a very long time to come. In some of the northern parts of the kingdom the dis tress of the population will probably be almost universal, as in the Highlands of Scotland, where the letters describe the country to be almost withont crops of any description, and that the people will have scarcely any resource but on English charity alone. Such are the unexaggerated miseries which lie before the country, so far as opinions upon the subject can be gathered from the most intelligent of the corn-factors at Mark-lane, and persons connected with the agricultural districts. The average price of wheat yesterday at Birmingham was 80s. per quarter, and by the last accounts from most parts of Wales it was 85s. per quarter"; and this, it must be borne in mind, is in the face of the supplies which the farmers always bring to market in larger quantities than usual at this period of the year, to enable them to prepare for the liquidation of their Christmas bills and charges. The following letter from Rio de Janeiro, which was received by the last packet, will be found interesting, as it gives an apparently impartial statement of the position of the finances and currency of the country. It has cer tainly been forwarded to England from a quarter where correct information on these matters can be obtained : " The wretched state of the finances of our country has been for many years a source of great anxiety to people en gaged in the Brazil trade, and unless speedy measures are adopted by the Legislature, I see no chance of immediate im provement. It is true the country possesses immense re sources, if properly called forth, and well managed by Go vernment ; but in all young countries there is too much com petition for power to admit of much unity of purpose on the part of the Representatives of the people, and hence it is that hitherto so little has been done in Brazil to improve the - cir culating medium. Our currency consists entirely of paper and copper, and its amount, in round numbers, is about 40,000,000 dollars, or, at the exchange of 40d. the mikes, to 6,666,6661. sterling. This sum is not by any means too much for the necessities of business, but it wants the desir able attribute of being convertible into precious metals at the will of the holder, which is the only sure foun ' dation for a paper currency. The Chamber of Com merce, appointed to give a plan for the gradual redemption of the paper money, propose to raise the duties on imports from 15 per cent., which is the present rate, to 20 per cent., applying the additional 5 per cent. annually to thp,t pur pose, which in the course of ten to fifteen years would con vert the whole into gold and silver. But long before that period, if the application were honestly made, the paper money would become of equal value, and indeed be preferred, from its greater convenience in business. It is true there are treaties with England and other foreign nations which have still six years to run, and which are opposed to this plan, .the duties being stipulated by them at 15 per cent. ; but we think, if properly represented, those nations would forego this ad vantage in attention to the greater security of their trade by having a sound currency. At all events it is w o rth tr y in g. If, contrary to expectation, the literal fulfilment o f t he treaties be insisted upon, the only other resource is domestic annual loans, which is an onerous mode of accomplishing the purpose, and which must be avoided if possible. The internal debt of Brazil is about six millions, and the foreign as much more ; so that the whole debt of the country, including the currency, does not amount to twenty millions sterling." HERALD.—There is no material alteration in the value of money for commercial purposes, though on the Stock Exchange it is rather easier, as the jobbers have again become rather borrowers of stock. One particular feature in the present state of the Money Market is the fact that a great amount of American Bank Stock paper is afloat, upon which money has been advanced by some of our capitalists ; therefore, to this particular channel the late absorption of capital may be mainly a ttributed. This circumstance, although it shows that the confidence in the regeneration of American affairs has lately been obtaining ground, has raised the question here, whether the negocia tion of a paper, not the representative of British mer chandise, to so large an extent, confers any direct benefit upon any classes of the British community beyond our over grown dealers in money. The Continental Exchanges are all quoted lower than they were on the last post day. On Paris the quotation has receded to 25f. 621 c. a 25f. 65c. ; on Amsterdam they are 12 34 ; on - Rotterdam 12 34 ; and on Hamburg 13 10 to 13 10-. The British Funds have assumed a firmer tone to-day, although the improvement has been but limited. The job bers. have been buyers of stock for money, and sellers for time, which will have the effect of making the shutting of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. easier to-morrow than was expected. There were some heavy sales effected in the morning, which caused the market to look heavy, one party having sold about 70,0001. Consols ; from the effect of this the market, however, soon rallied. The Govern ment Commissioner bought 4,0001. Three per Cent. Re duced at 93k. Consols left off at 931 a a Money, and 934 a Account. The Three-and-a-Half per Cent.

There has been but little business in the Foreign Market to-day ; the quotations have slightly improved. In Shares there has not been much alteration. Great Western Railway Shares 12 prem. ; Brighton are 31 dis. ; Blackwall are 21 dis. ; Birmingham are 80 to 81 prem. ; Southampton New Shares are 20 prem. ; Croydon New Shares are 1/ prem. ; and Manchester an d L ee d s 191 prem.

POST.—The anxiety of the moneyed interest in the City, with respect to the issue of the military movements in progress in the Canadas, has very naturally been much less intense to-day than upon the first receipt of the late advices from that direction, and the Public Securities have accordingly improved in value : there is, nevertheless, a good deal of impatience m anifested for the further accounts, which may be looked for in the course of two or three:days by the Great Weaern steam-vessel, now on her return passage from New York to Bristol. The improved tone exhibited by the English Market bad its effect on the value of the Foreign Securitie s. Dutc h Spanish,Stock Portuguese,done at and South a dvance of to and even the American Bonds have participated to a small extent in this improvement. i l n y inju re d a man Essex, by A young man named Samuel Skelby, possessed of considerable property , was yesterday remanded f rom Lam bn a e t m h e - s d t r N e l e a t c , k c e h y a , r a g e c d o n s s v t i a t I b t l e h a o v f in p g i a i s s e t r o t w o u , beat ing him about the head with a gun.

TIMES.—The shutting of the books for the dividends, which takes place to-morrow, has made this a busy day in transfers, but it has been unaccompanied by any indications, such as usually present themselves in doubtful times, of a bias in the public mind either for or aga i ns t the funds. There was no pressure for stock, nor any scarcity of money, and the closing price of the day is not materially below the quotation of several weeks preceding. If the balance in clined at all, it was in favour of Stock, or rather it may be said, that the mere " dividend hunters," as they are called, who are willing to lock up their means till the opening in January, were not less numerous than usual. The con tinuation, or rate of interest for the interval, till the next account, has rather diminished than otherwise in the course of the day. The fall in the foreign exchanges continues, and the rate in Paris, short, was 25. 40 to 45, which is nearly as low as in the beginning of 1837, under the influence of the Ame rican crisis. So steady and long-continued a decline is creating some uneasiness in the city, but the Bank Direc tors are quite at their ease, and seem to anticipate a speedy reaction. Considerable activity has prevailed to-day in Stocks generally, with a partial improvement in prices and a better tone in the market. Through Panama accounts had been received in the United States from Guayaquil, and Paita, in Peru, of the events which had occurred in Lima subsequent to the re volutionary movements in the provinces. It is known that Orbegoso, the President of Peru, appointed by Santa Cruz, had declared against him, and joined Nieto, the insurgent General, with all the force at his orders. On the 28th of July, the two chiefs entered Lima, from which Moran, with the troops of Santa Cruz, had withdrawn the previ ous evenin g . After this the Constitution of 183 5 was proclaimed, and Orbegoso named Provisional Director. This revolution, if the present advices may be credited, bad a short reign, and a strange termination. On the 7th of August the Chilian squadron arrived off Callao, consisting of 32 vessels, transports inclusive, and ten men of war ; on the Bth they landed at Aucon 5,000 men. It was pre sumed of course, that they came as auxiliaries, but previous to entering into alliance the Chilians proposed terms, consisting in the payment of 20,000,000 dollars, with possession of Callao until the conclusion of the arrange ments. These demands were considered entirely inadmis sible, upon which they are said to have advanced and taken Lima and Callao, after an action in which two thousand men were killed. General Gamarra was then declared President. Orbegoso fled to the moun tains. The South of Peru still adhered to Santa Cruz, who, it was reported, was within three days' march of Lima, at the head of an army of 8,000 men. If these ac counts may be credited, it will not be easy to dislodge the Chilians from the strong castles of Callao, as they are masters by sea, and can therefore be amply supplied with provisions at all times, whilst by land they are generally deemed impregnable. Rodil held them against Bolivar and all the forces of Peru for about two years in the time of the war of independence. The dates from Callao were to the 22d of August, and from Guayaquil to the Ist of September.

HA7'TON- - GARDEN. Jokn Carlow, an athletic Irishman, was placed at the bar, charged by Mr. George Knight, of the firm of George Knight and Sons, ironmongers, of Foster-lane, City, with having committed an extensive robbery. Mr. George Knight, sen., being sworn, stated that the prisoner had been in the service of the firm for the last six week or two months as porter, and the utmost conidence was reposed in him. There was no doubt but the pri soner had been pursuing a system of plunder ever since he had been in their employ. The prisoner denied the robbery, and said that the whole of the articles were left him by his wife's father, whose will would prove that fact. The needle compass was his own. Mr: BURRELL remanded him. The wife was also placed at the bar on the charge of stealing the cloak, but the sister did not press the charge of robbery ; but she was detained in order to redeem the property. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MR PATERNOSTER'S CASE.-Mr. Paternoster, the gen tleman who was some time sgo taken to Finch's Lunatic Asylum at Hammersmith, under very remarkable circum stances, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT and Mr. COURTOY, charged with having assaulted Lovell Sharp, one of the keepers belonging to the lunatic asylum. The complainant said he was walking down the Quadrant on Monday evening when he was stopped by Mr. Pater noster, who wished him to walk to an attorney in Basing hall-street. Complainant refused ; but he consented to accompany Mr. Paternoster to the station-house. When there, the inspector refused to take the charge, and com plainant attempted to go away, but he was seized by the collar by Mr. Paternoster, and a scuffle ensued, which was ended by the police. Inspector Baker said he objected to take the charge of Mr. Paternoster. Mr. Paternoster then said he had no hesitation in ad mitting that be had attempted to detain the keeper, Sharpe, for the purpose of causing a writ to be served upon him in an action which he had commenced against all parties con cerned in the recent outrage upon his person. Mr. CONANT said he must treat the matter as one of common assault, and as it had been proved that Mr. Pater noster had first laid hands on the keeper, he should call upon him to find bail. The requisite sureties having been entered into, Mr. Pa n oster was released. Mr. Wright, of Conduit-street, was summoned before Mr. DYER, by the proprietor of the Bank booking-office of the Bull and Mouth Inn, for having refused the payment of ss. 2d., the carriage of a parcel from Wrexham. Mr. Wright objected to the " paying out," as it is called, which is a fruitful source of imposition in the hands of coachmasters. Mr. DYER said the law was so defective, that it was almost impossible to deal with the cases of imposition which came before Magistrates. As Mr. Wright had not refused to pay the reduced demand, he should on that account re fuse to allow the expenses of the summons. He should, however, recommend Mr. Wright to pay the amount now claimed. Mr. Wright acted on the suggestion from the Bench, and the summons was discharged. Two young persons named Groves, man and wife, living in Warwick -street, Golden-square, appeared before Mr. CONANT and Mr. COURTOY on an assault warrant. The parties were at the office about two months ago, and it then came out that the wife was Irish, and a Catholic, the husband English, and a Protestant, a circumstance, which the husband alleged, formed a fruitful source of do. mestic unhappiness, as his wife's Irish relations were conti nually urging her to part fro m th e " heretic." The wife, on her part, attributed her quarrels to a young woman who called herself sister to her husband, but who she doubted had any claim of relationship at all. It was, however, sa tisfactorily proved at the time that the young woman was really sister to Mr. Groves. After the usual recriminatory talk in cases of this kind, at the intercession of mutual friends the parties became re conciled. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday four well-known juvenile thieves, the eldest of whom is not more than 16 years of age, were brought up in custody, and placed within the felons' bar, on . the charge of having broken into the house of Mr. Emanuel, 9, Gee's court, Oxford -street, and stolen therefrom between 81. and 9/. in gold and silver, a writing-desk, 96 spoons, three in gots of metal, and other property of different descriptions. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner Bur roughs had occasionally been employed by the prosecutor as errand-boy, and that on Sunday night last it was dis covered that the premises, which on the previous night were locked up as usual, bad been entered, and plundered of the articles alluded to ; information was promptly com municated to the police. Burroughs, on being discovered at the lodging of his parents, at first protested his innocence, but subsequently, on being advised by his mother to confess if he had acted improperly, he expressed his intention to speak the whole truth. He then went on to state that on Sunday evening he met Bergen, Keefe, and Leary, with whom he entered into conversation, and after the lapse of a few minutes, it was agreed upon that the premises should be robbed. Burroughs was ordered to be taken to the House of Correction, where he will remain until the Sessions, in order that he may be forthcoming to give evidence for the Crowd. Q UEEN. SQUARE. SHOPLIFTING.—A fashionably attired young woman was yesterday charged with shop-lifting. She was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. IMPORTANT TO PUBLISHERS.—Yesterday a tradesman of the name of Fielding, living in Old-street, City-road, appeared to an information preferred against him by Stowell, the common informer, charged with selling a publication called the Cabinet, on the front and last sheets of which th e names o f t h e pr i n t er an d p u bli s her were not printed. A long argument ensued. Stowell said that he had been at a great expense in the prosecutions. He bad been urged to take the course he had by some tradesmen, and he had at home now about 100 publications, on which he was about to lay similar informations. The defendant was finally convicted in the penalty of 51. : there being twenty days allowed for an appeal previous to a process being served against him. UNION-HALL. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE " DUKE OF NOR MANDY."—Yesterday morning, soon after 11 o'clock, Messrs. Jeremy and Swabey, Magistrates of Union-hall, and Messrs. Elyard and Burbage, county Magistrates, proceeded to further investigate the circumstances respecting the late daring attempt to murder the " Duke of Normandy?' Be hind the bench were several of the Magistrates' private friends, and the body of the office was crowded with the adherents of Charles Louis. Amongst others who at tended the investigation, which lasted until five o'clock, were Lieutenant-General Leysser, Count de Plessis, Count Thierry, Colonel Angelo, &c. The prisoner on this occasion did not conduct himself so flippantly as on the former examination, but still evinced a calm indifference to what was passing in connection with the charge. During the examination he took a quantity of snuff. When the investigation was at length concluded, Mr. JEREMY, after some preliminary remarks, said, we have determined upon requiring sufficient bail ; and it will be requisite to remand the prisoner until a future day, when the depositions will be formally taken against him, and he will be committed, in the event of his not being able to give the required bail, and forty-eight hours' notice of the same. Mr. SwABEY said his friend Mr. Jeremy had come to a very proper conclusion, and he should be most happy to join him in taking bail of the prisoner, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. Rouselle was then removed from the dock, and he will will be brought up again on Saturday next, when the volu minous depositions against him will be read over, and he will be committed to the county gaol. The investigation did not terminate until five o'clock, having lasted five hours and a half. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday Richard Cuthbert, the master of the Harriet, South Sea whaler, appeared before Mr. Ballantine to an swer the demand of Henry James , a seaman , who claimed the sum of 91. Bs. 2d., the balance of wages due to him for his services on a voyage to the South Seas and back. After much statement in detail by the seaman and his solicitor, Mr. BALLANTINE said the case was a novel one. He understood that a case had been laid before Lord Tenter den, wherein that Learned Jud ge h a d h e ld t h at money due on a whaling voyage could b e sue d f or as wages. The solicitor said that was so. He had maintained actions of the kind. Mr. BALLANTINE said that was the course for the sailor to adopt. He could not try th e case. Th e parties then retired. On the night between Sunday and Monday some thieves broke into the shop of Mr. Baxter, pawnbroker, Norfolk-street, Tottenham -court-road, and succeeded in carrying off several articl es o f p l ate. They had effected i an en trance, it s supposed, through a window at the back of the premises, and it is thought they must have been dis turbed, as there was a great deal of other valuable property within their reach. A letter from Rome mentions that the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia was expected there towards the end of last month, FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. {This Gazette contains an Order in Council, dated Nov. 29, ap pointing the town of Burslem to be a polling place for the Northern Division of Staffordshire.] IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEER.
